' [' K* x8 ?! g6 `1 h3 e" Y 2 K3 u! o. G/ M3 ?4 bBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, " l9 q9 t# j" A: P. o( m4 h' d- i* |

; R8 F& {6 n$ c7 D' O) b% Q2) Fish has omega-3 fatty acids, and are known to be beneficial to us in various ways. The problem is that our body does not make omega-3 fatty acids, and we need to consume it from fish. ' A, m9 H4 g; q8 q, i+ U# ] 1 p M, t) n6 |% M& o& hMany research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs. It is currently being sold at supermarkets here. As a result, consumers can obtain it from a non-fish source. More new products with omega-3 fatty acids are expected in the near future.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. : z+ e& k! s- I+ [
5 z* L0 U7 K% SA balance diet, and exercise regularly : L5 v) {' R; X4 u! e9 P7 Y - C4 z; O, ]7 vEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you. ) O/ ?- B' w, |: d _2 h$ R3 b5 l! ?1 Z6 r6 @+ o
